Is the saying 'play it by ear' or 'play it by year'?
"Play it by ear" refers to a musical sense, as in playing an instrument without the sheet music to read, so you are going to play what you hear, or play it by ear. It is a term signifying that you are going to keep your ears open and produce a result as more information arises. In this sense it is referring to time and whether or not you have a plan or are going to play it by ear and decide later on the best plan or to improvise. It is never "Play it by year". The phrase was born out of the musical world and has come to be stretched to other aspects of life, as with many old sayings. For example, when people say to ''nip it in the bud" they are almost never referring to a flower or plant. This phrase usually refers to a problem or ailment and stopping it from getting any bigger or growing as a bud would open and blossom, hence nip it in the bud (while it's small and manageable).
